Translation and editing services. Several Chilean wineries, Pisco, tea and food producers and the Chilean government pay me to translate texts from Spanish to English and write or edit texts in English, particularly marketing and PR materials. In addition, I own and run a small, high-end translations company, Shamrock Idiomas Ltda., which provides Spanish to English and English to Spanish translations for a wide range of clients, mostly government and business.

Writing and sub-editing. I do copywriting for businesses, drafting their marketing and PR materials. I also write articles about wine and food for my blog and also for other publications, such as Around the World in 80 Harvests. I am the sub-editor of South America Wine Guide.

Wine events and courses. I am now available for bespoke wine tastings, food and wine pairings and classes in English or Spanish at any level from beginner to expert.

Here is what some customers have said:

“ProChile’s marketing department has had a contract with Helen Conway for several years. We would like to highlight the professional attitude of Ms. Conway, who provides very good translations, making suggestions when appropriate and, in very short timeframes when needed. She mainly translates promotional texts for English-speaking markets for use both on- and off-line, as well as texts for marketing and events, which need to be error-free.”

We are very happy with the support the Shamrock team provides to De Martino in terms of translating promotional materials, website texts and other documents. They deliver very professional and clear work. Shamrock understands our need for rapid translations and also our philosophy.

I’m a British wine professional living in Chile, enjoying the delicious flavours of this extraordinary country. I love travelling to different wine regions, meeting growers and winemakers and tasting different wines. I translate, edit and write all sorts of documents.
